MARK DES CANT PAINT APPLICATOR SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A single pieceof shaped plywood member to fit into a round hole 1% inches in diameteron one end (straight end), and having a rounded handle on the oppositeend. A continuous spring like wire going through a bore at the roundedend and extending to the other end of wood member, and fastened at endson opposite sides.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS In the drawings: I

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of my invention;

FIG. 2 is a side view thereof;

FIG. 3 is a detail top view of handle and wire; and

FIG. 4 is a perspective side view of my handle after lambskin rollercover is inserted onto handle, and is ready for use.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS should maintain aseparation of one-half inch on each opposite side of member 10 to createpressure against inside of lambskin roller cover 16 to keep cover in anunmovable and unrollable fixed position. Member 10 is inserted into hole29 of lambskin roller cover 16 and is ready for use. In use, whileholding handle in hand and moving roller cover up and down, or indesired direction, paint is thus applied to surface of objects.

While I have described my invention with particular reference to thedrawings, such is not to be considered as limiting its actual scope.

Having thus described this invention, what is asserted as new is:

1. In combination with a roller cover used in roller painting, animproved paint applicator comprising: a rigid structure having twosubstantially parallel legs of unequal length and a joining end portionsubstantially normal to and transverse said legs for holding said legstogether in rigidly offset relation, the shortest of said legs ofunequal length being the part for manually grasping; and a spring-likewire passing around the longest of said legs of unequal length, saidwire being secured to the ends of said longest leg but flexibly offsetfrom the sides thereof for engaging said roller cover in stationaryfixed relation therewith.

2. An improved paint applicator as described in claim 1 wherein saidspring-like wire passes through a hole defined in the joined end of saidlongest leg and is fixed to the sides adjacent the free end of saidlongest leg.
